Romeo and Juliet, John B Routeledge

008. FUGUTIVE ADJACENT

Chapter eight

"Fugitive adjacent."

The next day, Juliet had been going about her business, having not heard from Topper since what happened, she also hadn't told anyone else about it other then John B, covering up her bruises with makeup and going about her life like none of it happened, which was why she was standing in a dress shop, picking up her and Sarah's dresses for midsummer which was white the same color as Sarah's but instead of flowers in her hair, she got a masquerade mask, as she took them, they already had been paid for her "thank you." she told the women, as she turned walking out of there.

She walked over to her convertible, she opened the door and laid the dresses down in the back, closing it, she began walking around to the drivers side, turning it on, she took it out of park, looking behind her, she didn't see anyone as she began backing out, and started to drive away, something then hit her car, making her press on the breaks as she put the car in park and quickly got out.

Running out of it, she saw John B on the other side, having hit the side of her car as he laid on the floor "oh, god." he groaned "oh my god, John B! I'm so sorry." Juliet told him "chain and a car, not a good combination." John B said, which made Juliet let out a breath "okay, you're coherent so that means you don't have any brain damage, great." she said, as she crouched down to him, but as she did, she saw the blood "but that's not great. You're bleeding." she told him, lifting up his shirt and seeing the injury "yeah, that's not ideal." John B told her "no, it is definitely not." Juliet told him, seeing the bike "what were you doing joining motocross or something?" she asked.

"Can you take me to the hospital?" John B asked her "the hospital? How bad are you hurt?" Juliet asked him, knowing if her father found out she hit him with her car, he would not only take it away but her license as well "yeah, it's uh..it's pretty bad." John B told her "okay. Okay. But uh, you're gonna need to help me get you up." Juliet told him, grabbing his arm and standing up, John B got up with her.

Where the two got back in her car, John B was just glad that she had the top up, but as he looked to the back and saw the black bags that held the dresses in them, he grabbed them and put one over to him "what..what are you doing?" Juliet asked him "do you..do you see a car? Like a..like a cop SUV? Blue and white maybe?" John B asked her, as that exact car drove past them "yes, they just drove past us. Why?" Juliet asked him "shit. Do you see a guy with no neck?" John B asked her, as Juliet put the car in drive "yeah..wow, he really doesn't have a neck it just goes straight to the rest of his body, that's so weird. And there's a really professional women with him." she shared.

"What are they doing?" John B asked her, as Juliet turned back to the front, continuing to drive away "well, I would be able to tell you if I already wasn't driving away before they decide to integrate me too. I mean seriously John B, what the hell is going on?" she asked him, as they headed off down the road "did you shoot someone? Or kidnap somebody because after the last two times we've seen each other those seem to be your thing." she shared, as John B kept looking behind them "it's probably best if you don't know." he told her.

Making Juliet hum "ah, running from the law! You know fugitive status is a very hard life, John B, just ask Romeo." she told him "I'm more like a refugee or something." John B told her, as he looked behind them again "hey, you know what? Don't take me to the hospital. Just take a left, please. I gotta do something." he told her, looking back to the front, he began putting the bag back in the back "sure thing, I'll just keep doing whatever you say, John B." Juliet told him, turning left and stopping when he told her too, in which John B then got out, running off, he soon ran back, getting back in "hit it, Sancho." he told her, as Juliet began driving off again "come on. Come on." John B told her "okay, well, if you don't want us to get the cops on us I have to go the speed limit, John B." Juliet reminded him, continuing to drive off.
